Chapter 1957: Chapter 1958: Face Blind or Scoundrel

Gah—

Upon hearing Ye Xuan’s words, the thousands in the area were all left speechless, their eyes fixed on Ye Xuan, filled with astonishment.

After the shock, came anger.

"Bastard, what are you saying?"

"You brat, you’re desecrating our ancestor!"

"Outrageous, outrageous!!"

"..."

After a brief deathly silence, the scene suddenly erupted with curses.

Xiahou Yudie was also furious, glaring at Ye Xuan with murderous intent... Normally, I tolerate you bullying me, but now, you even target my ancestor?

Even Xiahou Zhenshan couldn’t help but twitch his lips; this Ye Xuan... is really something!

I only told you not to expose the ancestor’s condition, not to use such words to cover up the truth!

But there was no choice.

As part of Ye Xuan’s team, Xiahou Zhenshan had to put the bigger picture first and reluctantly step in to clean up Ye Xuan’s mess.

"Everyone quiet down, quiet down!" Xiahou Zhenshan called out with a stern face, "Ye Xuan’s words are true, he just panicked earlier because... our ancestor resembles his beloved wife, he meant no offense to the Xiahou Family."

Even as he spoke, Xiahou Zhenshan felt uneasy.

After all, he had met Lin Tong, and even putting Lin Tong aside, not a single beauty around Ye Xuan resembles their ancestor in the slightest.

This is just absurd!

Since Xiahou Zhenshan spoke up, the Xiahou Family disciples naturally quieted down, not daring to say more.

However, Xiahou Zhenkong could smell the deceit. He calmly looked at Ye Xuan and questioned, "No, you’re clearly lying. If our ancestor really resembles your wife, why did you claim she was an old friend when you ran out earlier? What are you hiding?"

Instantly, numerous eyes were back on Ye Xuan.

Exactly!

Earlier, Ye Xuan was flustered and visibly shocked, and in such a state, if the ancestor truly resembled his wife, he would have said so, rather than calling her an old friend!

Xiahou Zhenshan frowned heavily, looking displeased.

As for Ye Xuan, he was unfazed by Xiahou Zhenkong’s questioning: "You’re just a nosy person, always needing to dig up trouble for yourself. Do you really want me to admit the truth?"

Xiahou Zhenkong scoffed, "We all deserve the truth. Neither the Family Head nor you should hide anything about our ancestor. The ancestor is the Xiahou Family’s Guardian God, our very ancestor!"

Of course, Xiahou Zhenkong didn’t know what secrets were hidden about the ancestor that he wasn’t aware of, but he knew if Xiahou Zhenshan didn’t want him to know, it must be something worth knowing.

Over the years, Xiahou Zhenkong had even developed a habit.

Doing the opposite of Xiahou Zhenshan was never wrong.

So, at this moment, he had to dig to the bottom!

"Alright, you’re really persistent, so I’ll be straightforward."

Ye Xuan rubbed his nose with a helpless expression and said, "Actually, I have face blindness, and I always feel that all the beauties in the world resemble my wife, just like my old friends. So at first, I thought your ancestor resembled my old friend, but later also like my wife."

Everyone: "..."

This is supposed to be face blindness? This is being a rogue!

Before Xiahou Zhenkong could react, Ye Xuan continued, "If you don’t believe me, just inquire in the Mortal World afterwards. Anyone who knows me, Ye Xuan, knows I’m prone to being flirtatious, chasing after a beauty when I see one. Why would a man who is so devoted be like this? Isn’t it because every beauty looks like my wife to me?"

The whole place went silent.

Every gaze was fixed on Ye Xuan, filled with skepticism and strangeness at his explanation... one that left people speechless!

Yet, at the same time, it somehow sounded reasonable!

Xiahou Yudie cast a deep glance at Ye Xuan, wondering if, given the crowd wasn’t watching, she should ask if she resembled his wife when he met her.

Xiahou Zhenkong also stared at Ye Xuan, "If that’s the case, why did the Family Head hurriedly pull you away just now?"

"Naturally to prevent discord!" Xiahou Zhenshan glared at Xiahou Zhenkong and said, "My brother Ye Xuan has this quirk—I’ve seen it in the Mortal World, just afraid the truth would upset people... If you hadn’t pried, it would’ve been over. Xiahou Zhenkong, do you enjoy causing trouble?"

"I..."

Xiahou Zhenkong’s face darkened, genuinely agitated.

To dare to turn the tables?

But admittedly, Xiahou Zhenshan’s swift reaction did have an effect, causing the Xiahou Family disciples to look at Xiahou Zhenkong with unfriendly gazes.

They were impatiently waiting for Ye Xuan to treat the ancestor and give results, to relieve the tension within. Instead, Xiahou Zhenkong was wasting time, making it hard for them to be calm.

Xiahou Zhenkong’s face was livid as he inwardly cursed.

Meanwhile, Ye Xuan had no plans to linger: "Alright, your family matters should be settled by your own, I’ll head in and save your ancestor."

Xiahou Zhenshan nodded, "We’ll be relying on you, brother Ye Xuan!"

Ye Xuan waved his hand and stepped back into the house.

Leaving Xiahou Zhenkong’s face shrouded in darkness, he couldn’t well hold on to Ye Xuan, only silently pondering to send both Ye Xuan and Xiahou Zhenshan on their way once the result came out.

A crazy, unserious kid from the Mortal World wants to heal the elder? What a joke!

The Xiahou Family disciples watched Ye Xuan enter the old house again, filled with worry.

This guy claims face blindness, what if he does something inappropriate while treating the ancestor?

That would be...

While people outside had their concerns, Ye Xuan had long reached the main bedroom inside the old house.

The main bedroom was brightly lit and filled with fragrance.

Qin Lan’s face was pale and weak, lying peacefully on a wooden bed, as if a deceased person, deep in sleep.

Looking at that familiar and beautiful face, the still commanding beauty, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but smirk.

Such a stunning and youthful woman, in reality, was a 186-year-old elder; who in their right mind could believe such a fact?

"What a small world..."

Ye Xuan couldn’t help but chuckle bitterly as he stood by Qin Lan’s side.
